What is the Big Reason Behind Joining Jan Suraj?
Delivering a significant blow to the JDU before the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, senior leaders Dasai Chaudhary and Bhuvan Patel have joined the Jan Suraj Party. Both leaders were welcomed into the party at a joining ceremony held at Sheikhpura House in Patna. On this occasion, they accused Nitish Kumar of neglect and described Prashant Kishor's leadership as a b alternative.
Why is Dasai Chaudhary Upset with Nitish Kumar?
Dasai Chaudhary stated that he had been associated with the JDU for a long time and had supported Nitish Kumar under all circumstances. He recalled that when he was an MLA, Nitish was in the early stages of his political career. Despite years of loyalty and struggle, he was neither given an important position in the organization nor assigned any responsibility in the government.
He clarified that he no longer has any desire to contest elections. He has joined Jan Suraj solely with the aim of doing organizational work. Chaudhary mentioned that he has previously been an MLC, MLA three times, an MP, and a minister, hence personal position or benefit is not his priority.
Bhuvan Patel Says, Nitish Ji is a Genius but...
Bhuvan Patel, sharing his political experience, said that he was a founding member of the Samata Party and had held organizational responsibilities in several districts. While calling Nitish Kumar a "genius chief minister," he also indicated that due to his age and health, his performance is not the same as before.
Patel alleged that the government is actually being run by a few people around Nitish Kumar. He believes that Prashant Kishor's leadership can give a new direction to Bihar's politics, which is why he chose Jan Suraj.
Equations Might Change in Bihar Assembly Elections 2025
The joining of Dasai Chaudhary and Bhuvan Patel into Jan Suraj could complicate the JDU's electoral strategy. Both leaders have influence in their respective areas, and the support of their followers will give new strength to the party. This move is also a major morale booster for Jan Suraj, as the support of veteran leaders before the assembly elections will strengthen it.
